Nina Carberry, pictured, and Katie Walsh will cross swords in the Queen Mother’s Cup at York on Saturday

Plundering bumpers in Ireland is plainly not enough for crack amateurs Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh, both of whom have rides in the Queen Mother’s Cup at York this afternoon.

In an old alliance, Carberry, below, links up with Kevin Ryan, who trains Shady Gloom and whose family have become good friends with the jockey. “I was one of the first to bring Nina over to England,” Ryan reflected. “I saw her ride in Ireland five or six years ago and two weeks later she won a race for me at Beverley.”
